(Hollywood, CA) A microphone, a keyboard, a metronome, a digital recorder, a complete regimen of vocal exercises, an ear training program, and a notebook dedicated to documenting, analyzing and measuring vocal progress: Imagine a well equipped vocal booth in a sophisticated recording studio with all of these requisite tools – even a dedicated vocal coach and a staff of live vocal, performance, songwriting and music business experts who can be accessed 24/7.

VocalizeU, a new app released by DS Vocology, LLC, delivers all this – and much more – on the 1.6 lb. Apple iPad.

VocalizeU is a marvel of modern technology; a virtual vocal studio that can replicate what the top music schools in the world can do by evaluating singers’ voices and giving them customized vocal workouts to address their individual vocal habits. This technique is based on the physiology of the voice and is used by many top recording artists and professional vocalists, who typically pay $150-400/hour to study this technique. According to DS Vocology, LLC Founder/CEO Dave Stroud, there is much more to being a modern vocalist than just hitting the right notes. “We focus on singers first and then we deliver the other essentials: songwriting, production, publishing management – all of the tools a singer could possibility need. It used to be that only top singers on the coasts had access to this type of instruction, but now, we are opening it up to everyone, everywhere.”

Acknowledged as one of the music world’s most prominent authorities on voice training, performance and vocal health, Stroud, who has coached an illustrious roster of marquee artists like Natasha Bedingfield and Ben Folds, plus American Idols Adam Lambert, Jordin Sparks, Allison Iraheta, David Cook, Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina certainly understands what is required to create superlative vocals. To bring VocalizeU into the marketplace, he assembled DS Vocology, LLC, a dedicated team of music and technology professionals, in a suite of offices on Hollywood’s legendary Sunset Strip.

VocalizeU is the cornerstone app of an entire ecosystem of products DS Vocology will be releasing for singers. VocalizeU itself will be expandable via the addition of 10-20 studioextension apps per year that add tools, such as 8 track recorders and oscillators, and specialized areas of study for singers, including Musical Theatre, Jazz Vocals, Background Singing, Music Management, Music Theory, Applying Vocal Technique to Song. VocalizeU also features an onboard camera, allowing the user to capture video performances and upload them directly to YouTube, Facebook, and other social media.

Despite every trend in modern music, what remains constant is the power of a vocalist to enthrall an audience. For professional and aspiring singers alike, VocalizeU will be their ultimate education and performance resource.
